Memphis Travel Guide

Weather in Memphis

Memphis has a mid-latitude, moist continental climate, which
means it has four distinct seasons with cold winters and hot
summers. Spring and autumn can be varied and unpredictable and
severe weather, like thunderstorms and strong winds, are possible
during these transitory seasons. Summers are very humid thanks to
moisture encroaching from the Gulf of Mexico, even though the
temperature rarely reaches great heights. This makes it feel hotter
than it is. Winters, by contrast, can be very cold with
temperatures below freezing occurring fairly often. Memphis
averages 5.7 inches of snow a year. There is plenty of rain to keep
the region green, most falling in thunderstorms, but this does not
mean there are not plenty of sunny days. Memphis has sun for 64% of
its days, which it proudly claims adds up to more sunny days
annually than are experienced in Miami.
